Organizers are expecting record crowds at 3,000 “No Kings” rallies planned for this Saturday worldwide, with 10 events scheduled in Nevada alone.

Protesters will voice their opposition to Trump administration policies at events in Carson City, Las Vegas and Reno. Three more events will be held just over the California border in the Tahoe area.

Beth Osborne, steering committee member for the group Indivisible Las Vegas, said the administration needs to get its priorities straight.

"We'd much rather see our tax dollars support our people here than bomb people in the Middle East," Osborne explained. "We've got billions of dollars to spend on a war. But we don't have any money for programs that actually help the people."

Speakers are expected to address a wide range of issues, including high prices, violent immigration raids, cuts to federal agencies, tax cuts for the wealthy and the Epstein files. Protesters will also call attention to the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, currently before the U.S. Senate, which would make it harder to register to vote and restrict mail-in ballots.

Osborne stressed American freedoms and ways of life are at stake.

"If we don't do something and come together (and) say, 'Absolutely no more, we're not going to do this,' then we will continue to fall into autocracy, not democracy," Osborne contended.

Organizers want to see crowds across the U.S. of around 12 million people, about 3.5% of the total population, a threshold cited in research as the tipping point for resistance movements to create political change.
